About this model
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G10 is an easy-to-use mirrorless camera from the early Micro Four Thirds range. Its 12.1-megapixel Live MOS sensor is much larger than a compact camera's, giving better low-light performance and more control over depth of field. The built-in electronic viewfinder helps in bright light, while the 3-inch LCD is handy for framing and reviewing. It records 720p HD video and includes a pop-up flash. This kit comes with the Lumix G Vario 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH lens, a compact standard zoom covering wide-angle to short telephoto. Ideal for anyone stepping up from a phone or compact who wants interchangeable lenses without a bulky DSLR.
